NOTE
The F.A.S.T.-key uses weak electromagnetic waves.
In cases such as the following, operation may be improper
or unstable.
• The vehicle is near a facility that emits strong electro-
magnetic waves, such as a TV transmitting tower, a
power station, a radio station or an airport
• The key is carried together with other communication
devices such as cellular phones or radios, or electrical
appliances such as computers
• The F.A.S.T.-key touches or is covered by a metal object
• A keyless entry system is being used nearby
• The battery of the F.A.S.T.-key is run down
• The vehicle is in a location with strong electromagnetic
waves or noise
Use the emergency key in such circumstances.
Refer to “To operate without using the F.A.S.T.-key” on
page 3-29.

The F.A.S.T.-key is constantly performing reception oper-
ations in its communication with the vehicle. This means
that the battery is always running down, regardless of how
often the F.A.S.T.-key is used. The battery life is about 1
to 3 years, depending on the usage conditions.

Since the F.A.S.T.-key is constantly performing reception
operations, the reception of strong electromagnetic waves
can accelerate the running down of the battery. Do not
place near to electrical appliances such as televisions or
computers.
Operating range of the F.A.S.T.-key
N00503200125
When a person enters the operating range of the F.A.S.T.-key
while carrying the F.A.S.T.-key and presses the driver’s or
front passenger’s door lock/unlock switch, the liftgate LOCK
switch or the liftgate OPEN switch, verification of the ID code
is performed.
The doors and the liftgate can only be locked and unlocked, the
engine can only be started and the operation mode can only be
changed when the ID codes of the vehicle and F.A.S.T.-key
match.NOTE
When the battery of the F.A.S.T.-key has run down or
there are strong electromagnetic waves or noise in the
area, the operating range could decrease or operations
could become unstable.

display in order to prevent mistaken operations or vehicle theft.
When a warning operates, be sure to check the vehicle and the

in the F.A.S.T.-key.
If the following warning displays, contact an authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer.
CAUTION

When the engine is not running, put the operation
mode in OFF. Leaving the operation mode in ON or
ACC for a long time when the engine is not running
may cause the battery to be discharged, making it
impossible to start the engine and to lock and unlock
the steering wheel.
When the battery is disconnected, the current oper-
ation mode is memorized. After reconnecting the
battery, the memorized mode is selected automati-
cally. Before disconnecting the battery for repair or
replacement, make sure to put the operation mode
in OFF.
Be careful if you are not sure which operation mode
the vehicle is in when the battery is run down.
The operation mode cannot be changed from OFF to
ACC or ON if the F.A.S.T.-key is not detected to be
in the vehicle. Refer to “Operating range for start-
ing the engine and changing the operation mode” on
